POONAM DAS GUPTA: A Successful SEX-BOMB!!!

It goes to the credit of the shapely and rather saucy POONAM DASGUPTA(who prefers to be called 'POO' by her near n dear ones) that she has virtually risen from the ashes of soft porn films to become a Zee T.V. celeb who created waves even opposite a nobody like Krishen Kumar in his home production 'Aaja Meri Jaan'.Even though TANYA SINGH was the lead heroine yet 'POO' overshadowed her(and everyone else) right from the very first frame till the end of the film even though she made an early post interval exit.

Maybe it's her electrifying sex-appeal or her dusky sultry screen presence that makes people sit up and take notice of her presence till the time she is a part of the film and even long after the movie is over. Any wonder then that most of POONAM's film demand and get several repeats thus making her a favorite at the box-office. Take the case of the dew fresh TANYA SINGH around whom the film was centered and what's more her dad (pop singer Ajit Singh)was the music director yet POONAM DASGUPTA stole the thunder from TANYA with just 3 seductive hot numbers picturised on her while TANYA had as many as 7 trcks picturised on her.But still she was absolutely no patch on POO!!!

Not just 'Aja Meri Jaan; even in the case of 'Meena Bazaar' while all eyes wer on the stunning and shapely ROOPA GANGULY as she was basking in the success of Mahabharta where she played the pivotal Draupadi, everyone was keen to see how she would essay the role of an expensive callgirl and classy hooker and would she be able to do justice to it. In that scenario all eyes were on ROOPA GANGULY as this was her first major and rather controversial film.So nobody had eyes or ears for someone called POONAM DASGUPTA. Yet once the film started to unfold-not only did she steal the thunder from ROOPA but even all the applause as she emerged to be the best thing to happen to MEENA BAZAAR. At the end of the day POONAM DAS GUPTA was successful in towering head and shoulders above ROOPA GANGULY and the success of that film fell squarely in her lap even though ROOPA had an equally meaty role but when it came to Sex-Appeal Boldness or even raw emotions she was simply no patch on POONAM who was miles ahead of her. All said and done POONAM DASGUPTA proved to be the surprise package of Meena Bazaar as nothing much was expected from her and yet she alone carried the film to it's success on her slender shoulder while ROOPA's presence was merely incidental to the film!!!

"Full credit goes to POONAM DASGUPTA that after doing shady films like 'Beauty Parlour' 'Garam' Haseenon Ka Mela, Jungle Queen & 'Jungle Mein Oye Oye' to mention just a few she actually managed to sign a film with Akshay Kumar no less in Mr Bond which was her third release after Aaja Meri Jaan & Meena Bazaar.

Not only that she also made inroads on television too with her sit up and watch performances in Zee Horror Show & Commander along with Dillagi & Anand.

"I've struggled more before getting into films than after but even in my darkest hour I never knocked at any producer's door leave aside pampering or flattering their ego's. Not many people are even aware that I entered the film industry in 1984 nad my first film was RAMYA's 'Aakhri Cheekh' In that long period of struggle I made a name for myself in not just Hindi films nut was equally popular in Malyalam,Bengali, Tamil & Telegu. Infact at one point of time I was an undisputed sex-bomb down South second only to SILK SMITHA!!"
